EXAMPLES AND ANALYSIS: 2013 "Struck a Nerve"

CALLER: They don't hate you 'cause you're on the right; they hate you because you're correct.
RUSH: Effective, yeah. That's sadly the case. Every time you see me ripped to shreds in the media, folks, understand I've just been effective, and that's why I'm being ripped. Or anybody else on the right. Same theory applies.

OBAMA: We don't think government can do everything, don't think that top down solutions are the right way to go. We believe in the free market. We believe in a light touch when it comes to regulations. We don't want to tax all businesses out of business. But we do think that there's a role to play for government.
RUSH: "We don't want to tax all businesses out of business?" Why you say that? I mean, out of the blue, there must be some fear that that is a desire, for him to have to stand up and deny it.
